On August 10th, a video featuring Lee Kwang-soo was uploaded to the YouTube channel “DdeunDdeun”.
During the episode, Yoo Jae-suk revealed, “Lee Kwang-soo used to use his mom’s card. In the early days of ‘Running Man’, he would carry his mom’s card around. This is not a joke.”
Feeling a bit embarrassed, Lee Kwang-soo responded “I’m 40 years old now” and clarified, “Back then, it was like that. It wasn’t really a ‘mom’s card’, but more like I was receiving an allowance.“
When Yang Se-chan asked if Lee Kwang-soo received the allowance in cash, Yoo Jae-suk and Ji Suk-jin explained, “His mom would deposit 300,000 won into his check card every month. At that time, Lee Kwang-soo didn’t have a credit card.“
Lee Kwang-soo clarified further, “Please say ‘mother’ instead of ‘mom’. Saying ‘mom, mom’ all the time makes me sound like a mama’s boy. It wasn’t because I was a mama’s boy, but I asked her to do it because I was worried I might spend too recklessly. And it wasn’t even 300,000 won a month.”
Lee Kwang-soo then added “In the early days of ‘Running Man’, I offered to pay for a team dinner since I had always been treated. But my card got declined, and Yoo Jae-suk had to pay instead“, causing laughter.
